PRESENTATION 11.15-11.45AM
Your Carbon Footprint: Moving from Static to Live to Optimal

• Through a case study example, we will be looking at how a 3PL is positioning themselves as both an eco friendly operator and a solution provider who can aide customers in reducing their carbon footprint.  As an operator they will use technology to capture their own “Static” footprint.  They will then move to an on-going monitoring mode to capture their “Live” footprint.  Their end goal is to show customers how they can assist in reducing their overall carbon footprint.

• As a solution provider they will engage with the customers to assist them in reducing their entire supply chain carbon footprint.  When the client moves from a simple static footprint to a “Live” monitoring footprint, the 3PL will be well positioned to offer metrics, scorecards, and modeling capability to the customer.  The key is having the ability to model their supply chain giving the client an “Optimal” footprint and a supply chain network that considers time, cost, and carbon as constraints.
